Mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition in monozygotic twins.
Mandibular tooth transposition, involving the right lateral incisor and canine, is described in monozygotic twin girls. This report provides evidence suggesting that genetic factors influence the development of mandibular lateral incisor-canine (Mn.I2.C) transposition. Interceptive orthodontic treatment for children with this rare occlusal abnormality should be considered.
